Hope the link works !
It is a Vespa Vbb, px forks modified to fit, shortened, steering stops etc
Disc brake, headset modified to take master cylinder
Led rear light
SIP digital speedo
SIP Tubeless rim
All the ancillaries, cables , loom etc are new
Engine is a Pinasco. 215, Maz race crank, all new bearings seals
I painted it as well, purple and lime pearl, 2k lacquer
I built it to sell so will be up for sale shortly, once the nightmare that is registering it is done, ( it has been a very testing time now that all the local DVLA offices are shut)

Did you have to do anything mudguard wise for the forks ?

The mudguard fixing holes were different, and the hole at the top had to be altered, the fixing holes at the side also had to be altered. The hole at the top had to be made bigger due to the fork size in that area, it was then a case if getting the forks fitted right and fitting the mudguard to them, so it looked ok and didn't hit the frame. It was more a case of modifying/ grinding the fork at the top to fit the mudguard
